FAQs
What types of water purification systems do you install in Lancing?
We supply and fit a full range of domestic and light-commercial systems, including under-sink carbon filters, whole-house sediment and carbon filtration, reverse osmosis (RO) units, UV disinfection lamps, and water softeners. Our plumbers will assess your incoming water quality and recommend the best combination to tackle chlorine taste, heavy-metal traces, microbiological contaminants, and Lancing’s moderate hardness levels.
How does a reverse osmosis system work, and is it suitable for the water in Lancing?
Reverse osmosis forces mains water through a semi-permeable membrane that removes up to 99 % of dissolved solids, pesticides, and heavy metals. Because Lancing’s water is classed as moderately hard, we normally pair the RO unit with a pre-filter and optional softening cartridge to prevent scale build-up on the membrane. The result is clear, great-tasting water without the need for bottled alternatives.
What routine maintenance do water purification systems require?
Most systems need filter-cartridge changes every 6–12 months, UV lamp replacement annually, and RO membrane replacement every 2–3 years depending on usage. We offer scheduled servicing plans that include reminder alerts, fitting of genuine parts, and a performance check to ensure your system continues meeting the applicable BS EN water-quality standards.
Will a water purification system reduce limescale and extend the life of my appliances?
Yes. Installing a water softener or an RO system significantly lowers calcium and magnesium levels, preventing scale in kettles, coffee machines, washing machines, and boilers. Customers in Lancing typically see fewer heating-element failures and up to 20 % lower energy bills because scale no longer insulates heating surfaces.
How much space and plumbing modification is needed for installation?
An under-sink carbon or RO unit fits in a standard 600 mm kitchen cabinet and requires only a cold-water feed, waste-water connection, and a dedicated purified-water tap. Whole-house systems are usually mounted in the loft, garage, or by the stopcock and need 600–900 mm of wall space and a nearby electrical socket for UV or softener controls. Our surveyor will confirm clearances before work begins, and most installs finish in one day without major building work.
Are water purification systems cost-effective, and do you offer warranties?
A typical under-sink RO system costs £300–£600 installed and can save a family more than £400 per year on bottled water. Whole-house setups start at approximately £1,200, offset by reduced appliance repairs and lower detergent use. All equipment carries a manufacturer’s warranty of 2–10 years, and our workmanship in Lancing is guaranteed for 12 months, giving you complete peace of mind.
